I am fairly happy with QB overall, but their payroll systems have a MAJOR SECURITY FLAW in them that everyone should know about. I lost a client over this and suffice it to say I'm not happy. QB Enterprise Edition also has this flaw by the way, and QB does not know what to do about it. They don't seem to care either. Apparantly, even though you can lock people out of QB payroll transactions etc., if they have access to the general ledger, then they have access to detail payroll data. The reason for this is that QB posts the detail of every paycheck to the G/L. So if you want to prevent someone in the accounting department from seeing payroll (a typical client need), user permissions doesn't do the trick. Because even though they can't see the payroll transactions in the payroll module, they can see every gross payroll transaction for each employee in the general ledger!!! Great job designing this part of the system QuickBooks!!!! <br /> <br />DON'T USE QUICKBOOKS PAYROLL!!!!! Rating: 1 / 5 DON’T USE QUICKBOOKS PAYROLL!!!!!

Well my Quicken 2002 to Quickbooks 2009 upgrade seemed to be simple (according to the web site) but just in case the Intuit's web site was lacking information I called before my purchase. They said the transition would be seamless. WELL to upgrade to quickbooks2009 i needed a newer version of quickens 2008 then once that was upgraded i need to upgrade to Quickbooks 2009. Well after an hour on the phone after the install and upgrrades I CANNOT use Quickbooks 2009 since i cant get the Quicken 2008 upgrade to work as promised. THE QUICKENS 2002 TO QUICKBOOKS 2009 IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT A NEWER VERSION OF QUICKENS 2008. It is supose to remember each check as written in previous version but it does not. IT IS JUST LIKE STARTING OVER FROM SCRATCH BUT MORE TIME CONSUMING. It should get 1/2 star. Payroll 2009 will be reviewed as soon as Quickbooks makes the patches to work correctly... I am guessing it will be just before the Mayan Calendar runs out in 2012. I have used Quickens since they where a fresh upstart in 80's. They use to make things easy to upgrade. I guess they are too big and just don't love me any more. Rating: 1 / 5 I bought Quickbooks 2009 and they want a review on the free Companion software of Quickbooks Payroll 2009.

I suppose this is less expensive than paying a company but still only 3 employees really isn't much. I'm just happy I didn't pay for the software.

Free Quickbooks basic from Intuit and this 40 dollar program does everything I was doing before except print forms. For 50 dollars more it will print forms too! <br />Go figure!
